Welcome to the Year of the Dragon 龙年新至 万象更新

The new lunar year has already begun, and hopefully it follows a relaxing and enjoyable break for all of you, whether you stayed in China or travelled elsewhere. 

Although the predictably unpredictable Shanghai weather meant a damp start on our first day back in school, we welcomed all of our returning and new students on Thursday and it was wonderful to see everyone raring to go! We now usher in the year of the Dragon, or Loong, symbolising strength, courage, and success.

In the traditional Chinese calendar, this lunar year - known as "Jia Chen甲辰" - the imagery of Jia is that of a thriving tree, signifying a fresh start.  With its arrival, we hope everyone can embody the spirit of the dragon, embracing challenges and moving forward with creativity, confidence, and consideration within the community.

As a school, we will continue to provide high-quality education and a diverse range of activities, fostering comprehensive development in students and preparing them to be learners who are prepared for their futures, with an international perspective and outstanding capabilities. 

The Year of the Dragon is full of vitality and enthusiasm. May you maintain your curiosity and actively participate in classroom and community activities. May the Year of the Dragon bring you abundant success and joy! 

We wish all of our students academic success, and everyone in our community good health and happiness!

新的农历年已经开始了，希望大家都度过了一个轻松愉快的假期，无论你是留在中国还是去了其他地方旅行。

虽然上海的天气总是难以预料，我们返校的第一天是个潮湿的日子，但我们还是在周四迎来了所有的返校生和新生。看到每个人都精神饱满，我们感到非常高兴！我们迎来了象征力量、勇气和成功的龙年。

在中国传统历法中，这个农历年被称为 "甲辰"，“甲”之意象是一棵茁壮成长的树，意味着成长的开始。在新的一年到来之际，我们希望每个人都能体现辰龙的精神，以创造力、自信心和社会责任感，迎接挑战，勇往直前。

作为一所英式国际学校，我们将一如既往地提供优质的教育和丰富多彩的活动，促进学生的全面发展，培养他们成为具有国际视野和卓越能力、为未来做好准备的学习者。

龙年是充满活力和激情的一年。愿你保持好奇心，积极参与课堂和社区活动。愿龙年带给你们成功和喜悦！祝愿所有学生学业有成，祝愿我们社区的每一个人健康快乐！
